Calling all daytime brides!
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on April 23, 2019 at 5:15 PM

Who else is having a daytime wedding? What is the timeline of your event? What meal are you serving? What made you choose to have a daytime wedding? We are getting married on a Sunday, our ceremony...

Reserved for.......
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on April 25, 2019 at 3:30 PM

I'm working on signs to reserve our front row for certain family members, and I have the format written up as: "Reserved for Jane Doe Mother of the Bride" etc. This is pretty simple and...

Videography regrets
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on April 25, 2019 at 12:14 PM

Ok, so initially I wanted a videographer very badly, just mostly to have coverage of the ceremony. But after realizing how pricey they are, we decided about 9 months ago that we were not to have one,...

1 month to go... feelings, to-dos, stressors, self care...
Gen in Planning, on April 26, 2019 at 10:36 AM

Jumping the gun a bit on this one because we are 6 days away from being 1 month away (lol) but close enough. I wanted to start a thread to talk about this point in the planning process, because I feel...

“Just don’t register and people will give you cash”.......
Gen in Registry, on April 23, 2019 at 1:38 PM

For me at least this has been the biggest lie I’ve heard on here lol. We had a small registry just for my shower. It wasn’t on our wedding website... my MOH just sent a link to the people who were...

Gen in Planning, on April 24, 2019 at 3:04 PM

Ok, I know I've ranted on here about this woman before, but she is just AWFUL, and every time I speak with her it seems to get worse and worse. (Per my previous post the other day) I sent her an...

“Dry” wedding, with a bar next door
Gen in Wedding Reception, on April 22, 2019 at 1:12 PM

Ok, don’t give me hate for this because 99% sure we won’t be doing this, but I just started toying with the idea. I never wanted to have a dry wedding because I feel like people will obviously want...

What if people show up with their kids?
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on April 24, 2019 at 12:10 PM

I get that this is unlikely but I'm just curious how any of you did/would handle this... I specifically addressed the invitation envelope and insert card to say the specific names of those who were...

Tented escort cards
Gen in Wedding Reception, on April 22, 2019 at 5:16 PM

So I have a set of tented escort cards (like in the picture). Obviously you put the person’s name on the front, but are you supposed to put the table number on the front too, or can you put it on the...

What do you do with your purse?
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on April 2, 2019 at 1:47 PM

I’d like to have a purse with me on my wedding day just to hold things like my phone, my hotel room key, tissues and possibly lady products if necessary (☹️) and I’ll likely just leave it on our...

Do you tip a hair stylist who sets her own rate?
Gen in Hair and Makeup, on April 19, 2019 at 2:09 PM

Per my previous post, I had my hair trial yesterday and absolutely loved it. The stylist I'm using works for a salon, but she's doing my wedding-hair on her day off and she set her own rate, and she...

Hair trial - i love it!
Gen in Hair and Makeup, on April 18, 2019 at 8:56 PM

I’m sooo happy with it! The girl I used is a junior stylist so she doesn’t have a ton of experience (but she’s flexible with travel and timing, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!) so it took her a...

Wedding weekend timeline for Bridesmaids
Gen in Planning, on April 18, 2019 at 3:49 PM

I wrote this up for my girls, and a similar one for FH's guys... I'm an extremely organized person and I want to be detailed and specific but I'm worried it's too much, or that I'm missing something?...

Closing the bar during dinner
Gen in Wedding Reception, on April 9, 2019 at 1:16 PM

So I’ve read that this is a thing people do at their weddings and that it’s acceptable to do this, but I have only been to 1 wedding since I’ve been 21+ so I guess I never really thought about it...

Frames for signs
Gen in Do It Yourself, on April 17, 2019 at 4:43 PM

After a failed wood-sign-painting-DIY (lol) I have decided just to print out signs on photo paper and put them in frames (which then I figure we can reuse for wedding photos afterwards ☺️) Where is...

Eye shadow for brown eyes
Gen in Hair and Makeup, on April 16, 2019 at 1:19 PM

So I'm probably going to end up doing my own makeup at this point, just because I think I honestly do it well enough on my own, and I don't really like other people touching my face lol. Anyway, the...

rsvp struggles
Gen in Family and Relationships, on April 17, 2019 at 10:37 AM

I know there have been posts like this before but now that I'm 2 weeks from my RSVP deadline, I feel like the urge to start another one so we can collectively be annoyed about RSVP problems hahaha....

Vows—i’m being a perfectionist
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on April 15, 2019 at 1:31 PM

My bridesmaid hijacked my wedding morning
Gen in Hair and Makeup, on April 11, 2019 at 11:09 AM

So basically, my bridesmaid offered to visit 4 months before my wedding to do a hair and makeup trial for me, so that she could do my hair and makeup for the wedding. I said great. She also offered to...
